Secrets At Sunrise is an emotionally gripping story of the dramatic fight to save the Western Ground Parrot from extinction. The documentary by Riggs Australia follows Department of Parks and Wildlife scientists from remote wilderness areas along the south coast of WA to Perth Zoo where world first attempts are under way to breed the birds in captivity in a desperate bid to restore numbers.
Through heartbreak and triumph this rollercoaster journey has audiences on the edge of their seats. And just when things are starting to look up, disaster strikes when wildfires tear across the landscape, destroying 90% of the parrots last remaining habitat. In the aftermath, can this team of wildlife champions bring one of the world’s rarest birds back from the brink?
Secrets at Sunrise is on at Mt Vic Flicks on Tuesday, October 10, 6pm. It’s a special fundraiser screening with 50 per cent of proceeds going towards saving the parrot. There will also be a Q&A after the screening with the director, Jennene Riggs. Tickets https://www.trybooking.com/RSEM.
